Will listen to that. Don't worry about being nervous, I think it adds to the "genuiness" of your action. And don't worry about not mentioning the book, I am sure plenty like me have already bought it and waiting eagerly to read it. I am ashamed to say I will read it first secretly and then wrap it up for Christmas...maybe as a present for my youngest child who is 8 and is slowly being broken into reality and inequality from her world of princesses and fairy tales. Really well done!

Veg, I thought you did an excellent job with the interview. As we know, you're a writer, not a radio or television reporter. Add to that your age and I don't know of too many other kids who would have done as well.

I'm looking forward to receiving my copy of your book, and I wish you the very best of sucess with it.

I know you live, now, in a strange dichotomy of worlds. On the one hand, you want to keep the publicity going as long as possible to keep raising money for Mary's Meals. On the other hand, you're a (now) 10-year old girl who's had a very emotional and difficult upheaval in what used to be a rather ordinary life. I'm sure you're wondering, by now, if life will ever be "normal" for you again.

Sweetheart, you will never get to re-live your childhood. Don't be afraid to say "no" when you feel you need. I'm glad you've taken some time off from writing your blog and don't feel pressured to return to it until you're ready. Even then, perhaps only a time or two per week, and continue to allow your blog to be used by children of other places to tell us about their school lunches. Truth is, the blog has grown "bigger than you" now. Embrace that fact. Your blog should be a joy to you. Not a chore you dread every day.

Probably not a lot of flowers left this time of year, but remember to take time out to look for fairies and mix up potions. *Hugs*

Well done Dave and Martha. I've just listened to the programme on iPlayer and you two sounded great, not nervous at all. Dave, you have a great voice, BBC correspondent? All the best to you and the charity!:-)
